Off-and-on security at Parkside to remain off
By Liz Washburn
Staff Writer
Students at the Parkside Residence Complex will not undergo "unnecessary frustration" during final examination week, as was originally expected, because Access Control Safety Network officials have decided not to activate the system after residents have moved out.
The system, which has not been operational all year, was turned on briefly Wednesday, but turned off again in response to residents' concerns about inconveniences that could interrupt their studies, said Bill Thompson, director of housing.
"The students' request was reasonable, and we wanted to respond to it," Thompson said.
Karen Denne, a senior majoring in print journalism and a resident adviser at Parkside, wrote a letter Wednesday to Terry Riley, Access system manager, on behalf of the Parkside Residential Life staff to express her concern about the timing of their decision.

Staff Writer
The School of Cinema / Television announced Thursday there will be a new interim director for the Filmic Writing Program in an effort "to create an atmosphere of calm," following the recent announcement that the program will lose its autonomy and be put under the direction of the production department.
Paul Lucey, assistant professor of production writing, will take over as the interim director after this semester ends, said Elizabeth Daley, dean-designate of the School of Cinema / Television.
Lucey will maintain the program but will not have the authority to change the curriculum or faculty, Daley said.
"It is ^n administrative appointment," she said. "(Lucey) will have no further

There was a faint knock at the door and, about a minute later, Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates was standing at the entrance to his Pasadena condo wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
Apologizing profusely for bothering him at home on a Sunday afternoon, Daily Trojan reporter Brian McDonough proceded to ask the embattled police chief for the interview the newspaper had been dying to get ever since it was discovered that
Gates was a USC graduate (Public Administration 1956).
Rolling his eyes in disbelief, Gates said, "Can't you call my office? This is my only day off." Three days before, the chief had been put on 60-day suspension following the March 3 beating of Rodney King by several Los Angeles police officers.
"We heard you graduated from 'SC, and we'd really like to do a profile," McDonough said.
